Form 8860, Qualified Zone Academy Bond Credit
Use Form 8860 to claim the qualified zone academy bond (QZAB) credit. A QZAB is a taxable bond issued after 1997 by a state or local government, the proceeds of which are used to improve certain eligible public schools. In lieu of receiving periodic interest payments from the issuer, the holder of the bond is generally allowed an annual income tax credit while the bond is outstanding. The credit compensates the holder for lending money to the issuer and functions as interest paid on the bond.
